Liquid containers

Vessels are containers that can hold liquids, although in general you can fit solid things in as well. If you put more than ten items into a container for liquids you will only see them as "various undissolved substances". You will still be able to count them though.

Precise weights (as measured on the post office balance) and capacities (figured out by actually putting things into the container) should be bolded. Weights gotten by hand-weighing the container, and capacities gotten from appraise, shouldn't be.

This table uses a special template, {{Ves}}, to calculate useful ratios from the weight and capacities. See that template's page for details on using it.
